So my 2 year old threw a domino at our tv and it put a "rock-chip" in it the size of a quarter, and it now has a 4-5" white bar across the middle of the 59" screen. I plan on buying a new tv today, so my question is what to do with the Samsung? Sell it to someone? Throw it away? Part it out?

My Setup: Triple-Sat LNB to a SWM-16 with a 21v power supply - HR24 with a DECA - HR24 with a BSF - H20 with a DECA

I would sell it at eBay. As a person who doing repairs I would appreciate the your step.

I've been in search of similar case, when a panel was OK, but some components failed and I didn't able to find the chips - I end up buying a PCB from eBay.
Perhaps if OP is handy, he could dismantle the TV and sell internal boards separately instead of whole heavy TV.
